Editorial content. „PAULETTE PICKS HERSELF TO PIECES
When a woman faces her mirror she drops all pretenses
and tells the truth about herself. So it is with Paulette
Goddard in this interview. Face to face with herself she tells
everything but won‘t affirm or deny that she‘s Mrs.
Chaplin
By GLADYS HALL
PAULETTE was sitting in front of the pier-glass in her
dressing room on the Paramount lot, between scenes for The
Ghost Breakers.“ (...)
„CLOTHES, Paulette admitted, are important to her, but
especially clothes for pictures. When she was planning
her wardrobe for Chaplin‘s The Dictator, in which she had
finished a couple of weeks before, she had, at first,
visions of some charming, little Austrian peasant numbers, simple
but effective. She ended by wearing a department
store basement garment, price $1.45.
For when she got into the ghetto scenes the charming
little peasant frocks looked glaringly out of place,
out of key, too charming to be suitable. Paulette admits that
she just sat down and cried when she had to discard
them. Until she wore the basement gingham and realized
that she looked right in it, right for what she was doing,
where she was doing it.“ (...)
